Re: Various Musings
Oh, dear, punctuation again. Once more.
Punctuation *is* okay; Okrand himself has used it (in the cards that come
with Power Klingon and maybe also the Skybox cards). I don't know that
it's necessary (come to think of it, is it truly *necessary* in English)?
Many people don't like to use punctuation in Klingon, and try to put
sentences on separate lines. That works too. Use what's comfortable. I
like to think that since our orthography for Klingon is so obviously a
transliteration, and we're writing transliterated Klingon for Terran
linguists, why not use other conventions that make English-speakers
comfortable too, while we're at it?
